[Adobe-source-devel] No build scrips for version 1.0.20 work on Win32

[Elisha B. <e....@co...>]

I have tested repeatedly the automated build scripts for ASL on Win32 using
both VC71 and VC80 and neither works.  The script downloads, unzips and
patches and then cannot build several targets.  Using the VC80 solution
file(s) does not work either (see attached file).

Can someone either fix these issues in the sources or help me resolve the
issues?

Thanks,

Elisha Berns

Some warnings are handled as errors which breaks your build.
You could remove this more pedantic behavior in the project
settings or in the makefiles by searching for /we flags.

I'd be happy to help you to resolve the issue you are seeing. One of =20
the most prevalent issues you have is:

We have seen this once before: the issue started with the sources =20
being compiled on a WinXP machine whose region was set to something =20
other than the United States. The problem arose when the compiler ran =20=

across a character it could not translate to the code pages for the =20
region set on the build machine. Most of the issues we found revolved =20=

around high-ASCII characters in the names of the authors of the =20
sources. The most annoying part was that these characters are often =20
found only in comments, which need not be considered by the compiler =20
in the first place! We have notified Boost of this issue in the past, =20=

but I get the impression a fix is very low on their priority list. =20
Nevertheless, there is a simple workaround: delete the offending =20
character from the source file. If you can give me line numbers in =20
the files where this is an issue, I can modify our Boost patch file =20
to eliminate the violating characters for the next release.

If this is not the issue you are seeing, please provide a little more =20=

detail about the build environment under which you are compiling the =20
sources. If you can hack the automated build script and change =20
instances of 'bjam' to 'bjam -d2', you should get copious debugging =20
information during a build -- such information would also help.

I'm available to continue working with you on resolving this issue. =20
Please keep me informed. Thanks again for your interest in ASL!

Blessings,
Foster
